only reason I would carry a laptop is to program my radio. But with the airlines charging for everything now, you have to measure what you
carry.
I think the number one issue has always been that most tablets do not have serial or USB ports available for plugging in a radio. Although, some have USB-OTG. Of those that have USB-OTG, very few (none, that I've encountered) have a version of the Linux kernel that includes the standard USB to serial cable drivers. (These are standard on desktop version of Linux like Ubuntu.)
Once you solve the hardware issues, the next issue is of course developer interest.
I don't know of anyone working on an Android version, but I suppose replies here will tell.
